Summary:PURPOSE: An actuator having a shape memory flexible cable is provided to conveniently connect a cable to an electricity supply unit by two ends of neighboring cables and a U-shaped cable. CONSTITUTION: A flexible cable(2) has one end connected to a control unit. A flexible cover(3) embeds the flexible cable. At least one flexible cable is formed of a shape memory material of which shape changes to control a controlled unit. The cover is coated with elastomer or a synthetic material. The cover is mounted by a support structure fixed to displace vertically. If an actuator moves in opposite directions, the cover is used as a transmission element. A shape-memory cable is deformed by heating. When the shape-memory cable is activated, the shape-memory cable returns to a residual position by elastic returning.
